Stick Insect, Phasmid - Kalocorinnis wegneri This is a very rare female Phasmid of the species - Kalocorinnis wegneri.  She is small in size, around 6 cm.<br />
<br />
This species was only described in 1995.<br />
First specimen found was back in 1956 by A,M.R. Wegner, I gather this species is named after him for the discovery. Second specimen was found in 1983.  Both specimen materials are incomplete and damaged.<br />
